The Buyers' Guide to Spring Fashion
Hitting the stores this weekend to embrace a little spring into your wardrobe? To give us the expert steer on what you can expect on the rails and what to buy we asked some of Scotland’s leading fashion independents just what they are loving for spring and the key pieces they are coveting as well as their forever icons, to love now and adore for seasons to come.

Discover neutrals alongside shades of blue and yellow
Glenn says: “We wanted to reflect the delicate, everlasting moments of spring, inspired by sunshine and the soft hues of flowers as they bloom into season. Through using this idea, we were able to curate a collection with a neutral colour palette while incorporating shades of blue and yellow. These pops of colour mirror the radiant mornings ahead.”
